The file in the DMV format belongs to the Settings Files category. It was designed by Adobe Systems Incorporated. Additionally, the Settings Files category contains 1305 of other files.

How to open DMV file?
The most common problem when using Adobe Acrobat Catalog is that a specific DMV is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that DMV files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DMV file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Adobe Acrobat
In this case, you should first verify that the Adobe Acrobat application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Adobe Acrobat in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open DMV files.
Programs to open DMV file
Remember to download programs supporting DMV files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Adobe Acrobat with DMV files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the DMV file to open in the Adobe Acrobat application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the DMV file with the Adobe Acrobat program.
Step 3. Update Adobe Acrobat to the latest version
If, however, after binding Adobe Acrobat with Adobe Acrobat Catalog there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Adobe Systems Incorporated website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DMV file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DMV file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our DMV file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DMV files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the DMV file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair DMV file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Adobe Systems Incorporated help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file DMV except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the DMV file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the DMV file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
